I am on the cusp of getting porcelain veneers. I am a bit concerned about the procedure. I have a sensitivity to Novocaine as well as any drugs which can make your heart race. A friend of mine recently had the porcelain veneers procedure done and said that the green topical agent they put on her teeth made her very shaky and nervous. This went on for almost fifteen minutes. Do you know if there is epinephrine in the medication used in the procedure? If so, would I be better off having this done with dental sedation?<\/p>\n

Dear Sally,<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

Epinephrine’s function in a Novocaine injection is to restrict the blood flow and keep the medication more effective. However, any epinephrine in a body would have very little effect on the symptoms your friend experienced. It is more likely that she was dealing with anxiety. That would be a much higher amount of epinephrine than what would be in the medication given to you. <\/p>\n

My advice would be to use a mild relaxant along with the Novocaine, such as nitrous oxide. This will keep the epinephrine in your body from getting too high and causing the issues you are concerned about. As I mentioned earlier, any epinephrine in the medication would be miniscule compared to a body’s reaction to anxiety. <\/p>\n

I do not recommend you use a stronger dental sedation such as oral conscious sedation. Though stronger, you will not be lucid. Your dentist should place your porcelain veneers<\/a> on with a temporary try-in paste. This is so that you can get a good look at the veneers and approve of them before they are permanently bonded on. <\/p>\n

If you are practically asleep, as you would be from oral conscious sedation<\/a>, then you would have no way to approve or disapprove the smile makeover. That is important. <\/p>\n
